Dillon Mitchell, selected by the Boston Celtics at No. 40 in the NBA draft, is considering returning to St. John’s for a fifth college season due to a recent NCAA ruling allowing the class of 2022 to gain another year of eligibility. This change could also benefit other unsigned draftees, including Tyler Nickel, Richie Saunders, Braden Smith, and Lajae Jones. The NCAA is appealing a court injunction supporting this ruling. If these players return to college, their NBA teams retain their rights, creating a draft-and-stash scenario.
